Los Angeles, CA (February 25, 2013) Music Director Gustavo Dudamel and President Deborah Borda today announced the 2013/14 season of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. This new season, the Orchestra s 95th, celebrates both the 10th anniversary of the opening of Walt Disney Concert Hall and Gustavo Dudamel s 5th year as Music Director through programs that reflect the dynamic, adventurous past with signature pioneering and inventive programs that shape the future. The pillars of this celebratory period, with 13 new commissions, 11 world premieres, 4 U.S. premieres and 4 West Coast premieres, include: Inside Out - a series of performances marking the 10th anniversary of Walt Disney Concert Hall the final production of the three-year Mozart opera project with Così fan tutte the return of Minimalist Jukebox, a festival guided by Creative Chair John Adams with citywide partners TchaikovskyFest - the return of the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela co-presenting the complete Tchaikovsky Symphonies with the LA Phil, all conducted by Gustavo Dudamel Beethoven with Andsnes, the second installment in this three-year exploration of the composer s music Brahms Project with Emanuel Ax the conclusion of András Schiff s survey of the solo keyboard music of Bach The tenth birthday of Walt Disney Concert Hall is a wonderful reason for our great city of Los Angeles to celebrate, said Gustavo Dudamel, Music Director. Our friend and colleague, Frank Gehry, lovingly built this world-renowned masterpiece as a living room for the people, and we get to share it with you through our music making. This season, I am excited by all of our musical offerings, from the works that inspired me to become a musician to the numerous commissions and premieres that have become a trademark of the LA Phil. An additional delight for me is to have my two musical families, the LA Phil and the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela, working together once again this time with Tchaikovsky. As a young boy, I discovered Tchaikovsky through great recordings and he has had a very special place in my heart ever since. I hope that you will join us to celebrate this great hall and great music. When Walt Disney Concert Hall opened in 2003, it gave us an opportunity to re-imagine what the LA Phil could be, said Deborah Borda, President and Chief Executive Officer. Just 2

as our new home reflects the qualities that have made Los Angeles a vibrant, modern-day cultural capital, the LA Phil draws its inspiration from the city. Using the diversity, openness and creativity of Los Angeles as a guide, the LA Phil expanded its offerings, shaping what has become one of the most respected and innovative artistic programs in the country. Today, under the leadership of Gustavo Dudamel, the LA Phil continues to champion the new, honor the past and exemplify excellence through performances that include the world s most important artists of every genre. The coming season is a celebration of both the opening of Walt Disney Concert Hall ten years ago and what the LA Phil has become since that time an international symbol of the city's creative spirit and a welcoming, musical home. 10th ANNIVERSARY OF WALT DISNEY CONCERT HALL INSIDE OUT The 10th anniversary celebrations of Walt Disney Concert Hall Inside Out will have an eye to the future as well as on the past. Gustavo Dudamel and Esa-Pekka Salonen, both LA Philharmonic Music Directors of this decade, celebrate. Their concerts will feature many outstanding soloists who have had special relationships with the LA Phil since the hall opened. The repertoire will be a combination of classics and premieres, with a spectacular Opening Night Concert and Gala featuring Dudamel with Yo-Yo Ma and an installation by video artist and director Netia Jones. Marking the actual anniversary, Esa-Pekka Salonen conducts a very special Green Umbrella program presenting the world premiere of 200 Motels by L.A. s groundbreaking iconoclast composer, Frank Zappa. This extraordinary concert celebrates the spirit of freedom that Walt Disney Concert Hall has engendered and will be a uniquely Californian event. The LA Phil will present a series of free community concerts across the city, culminating in the first joint concert between YOLA and the LA Phil conducted by Gustavo Dudamel in Walt Disney Concert Hall. Additionally, all three Creative Chairs for Jazz collaborate on a one-of-a-kind jazz celebration and a series of talks about Walt Disney Concert Hall will punctuate the festivities. Comprehensive details to be announced later this year. 3

GUSTAVO DUDAMEL 2013/14 PERFORMANCES Walt and Lilly Disney Chair Music Director Gustavo Dudamel conducts the Los Angeles Philharmonic in 13 weeks of subscription concerts that reflect the scope and innovation of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, particularly since the inaugural 2003/04 season in Walt Disney Concert Hall. With a vision that recognizes the past and looks forward to the future, Gustavo welcomes back the world s most celebrated soloists and offerings that include classical masterworks as well as relevant and contemporary repertoire that continue to broaden the boundaries of symphonic programming. The 2013/14 season, Dudamel s fifth season at the helm of the LA Phil, includes 13 commissions, 11 world premieres, 4 U.S. premieres and 4 West Coast premieres. Sharing the stage with Dudamel during the season are Yefim Bronfman, Leif Ove Andsnes, Yuja Wang, Emanuel Ax, Lang Lang, Joshua Bell and Hélène Grimaud, among others. In addition, Dudamel leads the third and final installment of the Mozart/Da Ponte Trilogy with a fully staged production of Così fan tutte; premieres works by Lieberson, Dean, Bjarnason and Norman; and conducts a second North American tour with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. During the 2011/12 season, the LA Phil and Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela, under the baton of Dudamel, embarked upon The Mahler Project, an unprecedented international collaboration of performance, and education and community outreach, across cultures and continents. This season, the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela returns to join forces with the Los Angeles Philharmonic in TchaikovskyFest an exploration of Tchaikovsky including performances of the symphonies, tone poems, and more; and significant community and education events, including the annual TAKE A STAND symposium, which will examine best practices, lessons learned and future directions of music education. Evident during the monumental Mahler Project, the relationship between the LA Phil and Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela is a partnership that transcends limitation, and truly epitomizes unity through music. TchaikovskyFest culminates in a joint performance of the two orchestras on March 2.

During the 2005/06 season, in the first major examination of the Minimalist movement by an American orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic dedicated two weeks to exploring this cutting-edge style of composition, which broke barriers and redefined the musical and compositional landscape of the classical genre when it was introduced in the mid-1960s. Minimalist 10

Jukebox returns this season, as does John Adams, as both festival curator and conductor, leading the Los Angeles Philharmonic in a performance of his own work, Naive and Sentimental Music, as well as the world premiere of an organ concerto by one of the founding fathers of Minimalism, Terry Riley. Given its first performance in 2004 at Lincoln Center, De Materie, a four-movement 90 minute work for orchestral ensemble, chorus and soloists by Dutch composer Louis Andriessen, receives its West coast premiere with the LA Phil and Synergy Vocals led by Dutch conductor Reinbert de Leeuw, who led the ASKO Ensemble and Netherlands Chamber Choir in the only recording of the work (Nonesuch, 2005). In 1984, Philip Glass and Robert Wilson imagined a monumental work to crown the Olympic Arts Festival in Los Angeles. Conceived in 6 sections, each by a different composer or collection of composers, the work was never completed due to lack of funding. Section 5, The Rome Section, composed by Philip Glass, was US premiered by the LA Philharmonic in 1984, but has not been performed in L.A. since then. Thirty years later, the LA Phil brings the CIVIL wars, the Rome Section an enormous work by one of Minimalism s most important voices back to the stage with chorus, orchestra, and multiple soloists conducted by Grant Gershon as the centerpiece of the 2014 Minimalist Jukebox festival. Joining the LA Phil in this festival are the Music Center, The Getty Center, LA Opera, Jacaranda, The Industry, the Los Angeles Master Chorale, the Broad Stage, Long Beach Opera, wild Up and many more.
